Today's Nibley Quote

From The World and the Prophets CWHN 3:131:

I recall to mind certain professors of natural science who could not have a lecture without taking potshots at foolish and gullible people who accepted things on faith. These men with monotonous persistence fire millions of rounds at the opposition, but when the opposition proposes to present a few of their duds for our inspection, they instantly appeal to our humanity and insist that it is not sporting to advertise the chinks in their armor.
